What to Look For in a
double buggy With carrycot Travel Buggy
A side-by-side
double pushchair with car seat with small footprint (for narrow doorways and public transport). Add carrycots or seats (with adaptors) to increase the frame's capacity for weight for children up to 50 pounds.
Budget double with suspension for the front and back for uneven surfaces. Large storage basket, padded handlebars, and large storage basket.
Size
double pushchair with car seat pushchairs double tend to be wider than single ones, particularly when they are side-by-side buggies such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width allows them to accommodate larger children without straining their chassis. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out canopies that have SPF 50 protection and large peekaboo windows, swivel-lock front wheels to help navigate tight spaces like shopping aisles, a cup holder for one parent, and a clever fold mechanism that operates with one hand. The 10-inch wheels aren't designed for rough terrain, but they can handle city streets and theme park rides well.
In terms of price tags these kinds of lightweight, side-by-side buggies are surprisingly affordable.
Weight
The heavier the double buggy, the easier it is to move and lift. The Joie Evalite Duo is a good choice if you need to be mindful of weight, as it's the lightest of our Lab tests but still offers plenty of features, including large pop-out canopies that come with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; a quick-release fold that can be folded flat in a matter of seconds; four-wheel suspension to take on rough terrain and an swivel front wheel that makes navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets and shops simple. It's priced at just over $1000 It's also a great value stroller. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.
Flexibility
A
double travel stroller buggy that is well-designed can provide a lot of flexibility, whether you have twins or an infant and a toddler. The narrow tandem buggies are ideal to fit into tight spaces, while side-byside models ensure that your children are properly cared for and allow you to keep an eye on them while you go to the grocery store or the park. They also come with a wide range of seat configurations, so you can adapt the seat as your children grow, and some even come with the option of adding a ride-on board or car seat.
The Joie Evalite duo is an excellent example. It can be used to hold two seats, or a car-seat. The adaptors let you change from one seat to a double in merely seconds. It also has a nice-sized pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade that can be used as a canopy, adjustable leg rests and peekaboo windows in both seats and a standing fold that's simple and quick to fold with one hand; and a top-quality suspension that makes light work of rough terrain.
Tri-fold buggies, such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile option. They are perfect for navigating narrow doors and aisles. They are also able to accommodate twins or a child and a large kid by adding UPPAbaby's"PiggyBack" board (which is available separately). The basket is generous and includes all the accessories, such as raincovers and liner.
Tandem buggies are typically made with your kids sitting together. This makes them easier and more stable to push on uneven surfaces, but they can be difficult to maneuver up and over kerbs. They typically have a bigger footprint than a single-seater pushchair and may be a bit too long to pass through doors.
Comfort
One of the most comfortable, lightweight doubles we've tested the buggy has elevated stadium-style seating for both seats so your children enjoy the view; nice-sized UPF 50+ canopies with peekaboo windows; padded toddler seat, as well as an add-on RumbleSeat that has adjustable legs and foot rests; as well as the cup holder that is single-parent. The seats recline independently by pressing a lever beneath each seat. Testers love the fact that the straps can be fastened and unfastened in one hand. The handle is easy to turn and makes it easy to fold. It can also be put away with the backrest raised for easy access.
This is a great option for families who want to grow with their children. It comes in 30 different configurations. It can accommodate twins or a toddler, as well as three children if you add a 'PiggyBack board'. The large basket and soft suspension make it ideal for kerbs, as well as in the city. It's also reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends this for children ages 0-6. of six.
